Jahnava Nitai Das Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 I'm sure others will give you more advice, but in short you can go to the following places near to Delhi: Vrindavan/Mathura (Birth place of Lord Krishna) 4 hours from Delhi Jaipur (Govinda-ji Temple and some palaces) 6 hours from Delhi Haridwar/Rishikesh (Holy Ganga and foothills of Himalayas) 7 hours from Delhi Kurukshetra (Place where Lord Krishna spoke Bhagavad Gita) 6 hours from Delhi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here are some photo previews of the recommended pilgramage areas: <center></center> <center>Vrndavan</center> <center>Small town on the bank of Yamuna River where Krsna performed His rasa-lila pastimes. One of the most sacred Holy Places in India for pilgrims and sadhus from many faiths. <center>Jaipur and Karoli</center> <center>"Town of Victory" with the fortwhere the original 5000 year old Govindaji Deity from Vrindavana is now being worshiped. </center> <center>Haridwar</center> <center>Haridwar is located on the west bank of theriver Ganges. "Haridwar" literary means "the gate to Lord Hari", Lord Vishnu. It is one of the seven most sacred places of India and in the Puranas it is called Mayapuri-ksetra. </center> <center>Hrisikesh</center> <center>In Hrisikesh, 356 m above the sea level,Ganges leaves the Himalayas and flows into India's lowlands. </center>By clicking on any pictures in the essays you get a much larger one. Safe journey! </center> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jahnava Nitai Das Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 Those pictures really add life to the names. Now I want to go on pilgrimage as well. And Joseph, make sure you see the Akshar Dham swaminarayan temple in Delhi. It's the most amazing thing I have seen in India. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
